Chemistry and physics are the two basic physical
sciences and provide a basic understanding of the world
around us. Chemistry is the study of matter - its structure
and composition, its properties and its transformations.
Since our whole world consists of "matter", it is the study of
the composition of the world around us. Physics is the
study of our physical universe, including mechanics,
electricity, magnetism, light, gravity, and atoms. The primary goal
of physics is to apply one or more laws of nature for
a physical system in order to determine the past or
future behavior of that system.
Chemistry and physics courses provide excellent
training in problem solving skills as well as insight into the
behavior of the universe. Both chemistry and physics are
being applied to some of the most pressing problems
facing society today, such as food shortages, dwindling
energy resources, environmental problems, and health issues.
The Chemistry and Engineering Physics Department at
UWP provides a variety of introductory chemistry and
physics courses for students of all mathematical ability.

The Physics Program at UWP offers a major in
Engineering Physics. Physics is a basic science; engineering is
the application of science to the safe and economical
production of materials, products, and structures important
to society. Engineering Physics is an
interdisciplinary program that combines the studies of physics and
engineering into a single curriculum. The physics program
also offers a minor in physics with either a science or
education emphasis.
Educational Goals and Objectives:
The Engineering Physics Program at UWP is to
provide Engineering Physics (EP) majors with a
quality undergraduate education in liberal studies,
mathematics, science, and engineering to (1) provide them with
the knowledge and skills to address engineering
problems which cross the traditional boundaries between
physics and engineering, particularly mechanical and
electrical, with an emphasis on optical and sensor technologies,
(2) prepare them as good citizens as well as good
engineers, and (3) prepare them for a lifetime of learning,
as engineers and citizens.
1. Engineering physicists must have a knowledge
of mathematics, chemistry, advanced physics, and
engineering. EP graduates from UWP must have
demonstrated (a) an understanding of how these disciplines
are interrelated in engineering physics, (b) the ability
to utilize this knowledge to identify, formulate, and
solve engineering physics problems which cross the
traditional boundaries between physics, electrical,
and mechanical engineering, and (c) an understanding of
the design process, including project planning,
management, and implementation, and the ability to apply
that process to engineering physics projects.
2. Engineering physicists must have a variety of
professional skills to be productive in today's
competitive environment. EP graduates from UWP must
have demonstrated (a) effective oral and written
communications, (b) the ability to function effectively
in multidisciplinary teams, and (c) the ability to
use modern engineering physics techniques and
tools, computers and instrumentation.
3. Engineering physicists must have the
educational background to be good citizens as well as good
engineers. EP graduates from UWP must have (a)
demonstrated an understanding of their professional
and ethical responsibility to society along with a
knowledge of the contemporary issues in engineering physics,
(b) completed a broad liberal studies curriculum
necessary to understand the impact of engineering physics in
a global and societal context, and (c) a desire for
life-long learning to improve themselves as citizens and
engineers.
